YOU HAVE ANSWERED ME

Doubts assail and trust in God is affected;

Feelings run wild and we may feel rejected.

Prayers ascend desperately but there is unbelief;

The outpouring of the soul does not bring relief!

 

Another way has to be found obviously;

The enemies must be faced courageously.

They may be dogs, or lions or wild oxen;

But what are these to the God of Heaven?

 

The Lord will give us the strength to cope;

There is no need to lament and to mope.

The Lord will bring about deliverance;

Our trust in God is of vital significance!

 

The LORD has indeed heard our prayers;

He bids us to “be still” and not be in despair.

We are indeed precious to the LORD;

He remains our great and faithful God!
